5 Reasons That Make The Haven Collection Your Top Choice for Childcare

We know that raising a family is one of life’s most rewarding experiences, but it can also be challenging. That’s why we’re here to help in ways both big and small—whether you need a half day or full day of care, an extra 15 minutes to sneak in a Peloton, or even just help with ordering your dinner, we are here for you. At Haven, from care to community, everything we offer is through one doorway, under one roof. From the moment you walk into your local Haven, you’ll feel the difference. Our mission is to help your whole family thrive. We understand how vulnerable this stage of life can feel, but you’re not alone. We’re here, and we’re ready to be the support system you’ve been looking for. 

Here are five reasons why the Haven Collection should be your top choice for childcare.

Community

At Haven, you’re not just joining a childcare program—you’re becoming part of a village that lifts families up. You might come for the fully licensed childcare facility, but you’ll stay for the lifelong community you build. We truly believe it takes a village to raise a family, which is why community is at the heart of everything we do. Supporting one another is one of our core values, and since 2019, The Haven Collection has empowered parents to become the best versions of themselves. Under our roof, parents have formed book clubs, become triathletes, and discovered the art of the backyard barbecue.

The spirit of place matters to us, both within our walls and in the neighborhoods we call home. That’s why we partner with local leaders and businesses to create a stronger, more connected community. We work hard to ensure our presence has a lasting and have a positive impact beyond our doors, which is why we work to ensure everyone from nearby shops to first responders, everyone knows the Haven kids.

Fully Licensed Childcare

The Haven Collection is more than just a daycare—it’s a fully licensed early learning program designed to support children from as young as six weeks old through their preschool years. Our play-based curriculum is inspired by the Montessori and Reggio Emilia philosophies, giving each child the freedom to explore, grow, and learn in a way that feels natural to them.

Whether your child is with us for a full day or just a few hours, their experience is guided by a sense of curiosity. Each day, our teachers create and foster an engaging environment where students grow their confidence, feeling supported and excited to discover the world around them. Rooted in research and aligned with state learning standards, the Haven Method helps children reach critical developmental milestones while keeping joy and play at the heart of every day.

Locations

You may have begun your career in a big city, but now, as your family grows, you’re ready to trade concrete sidewalks for green grass. The good news? You don’t have to leave your career behind to make that shift.

Every Haven location is chosen with intention. We’re currently located in Newport, RI—just 90 minutes from Boston — and Gladstone, NJ, a short train ride from New York City. Each location is not only accessible to major urban centers but is also deeply rooted in the local communities that help shape the spirit of each space.

Remote work should elevate your career, not hinder it. Whether you’re entirely remote, hybrid, self-employed, or simply need a place to reset, our workspaces are designed for productivity and peace of mind. From quiet work pods for your Zoom calls to comfortable open-plan co-working style offices, we have thoughtfully created each work environment with you and your career in mind. Furthermore, and we believe this is key, each office space features large windows that allow you to look down and watch your children play, learn, and grow. 

At Haven, we’re here to support both your professional goals and your growing family, without compromise.

Time Saver

About ten years ago, a viral meme reminded us, “You have the same 24 hours as Beyoncé.” But any parent knows—that’s just not true. Between daycare drop-offs, work meetings, and everything in between, most days feel more like survival than stardom.

Many new parents are left wondering how to be everything at once: a present parent, a healthy human, and a successful professional. That’s precisely what Britt Riley, Founder of The Haven Collection, felt after having her children. She quickly realized the system wasn’t built for modern families, and something had to change. “It was 3:00 a.m. I was nursing my newborn, calming my toddler, and panicking about how I was going to make life work. That’s when I knew—this idea had to become a reality.”

From that moment, Haven was born with a mission to help families not just survive, but thrive.

One of our core values is giving families back their time. At Haven, we bring everything under one roof: licensed childcare, quiet coworking spaces, and modern fitness studios, all designed to support parents in their personal and professional lives.

The result? Your local Haven can help you save nearly a month of time each year, allowing you to focus more on what matters most. 

Familycare™

Familycare™ is at the heart of everything we do at The Haven Collection. Familycare™ is our North Star; it’s more than just a noun—it’s a verb. 

So, what is Familycare™? While Haven is a fully licensed childcare provider, our mission extends beyond the child—we care for the whole family. This means that while our experienced teachers and caregivers nurture and engage your child, you’re free to focus on what you need, whether that means focusing on your career, working out in the state-of-the-art fitness studio, running errands, having a massage, or simply resting. At Haven, we believe no parent should have to choose between their family and their well-being. We exist to support the whole family through community, care, and commitment—so that everyone can thrive, together.

What does that look like in real life? Whether it’s helping you have an overdue date night, ordering your family dinner, or staying that extra 15 minutes so you can finish a call, we’re here to support your family’s thriving. Did your child forget their favorite lovie? Worry not – the lovie is getting a ride home. Is your baby refusing to take a bottle? We got you—each location is thoughtfully designed to make breastfeeding easier.

We get it, because we’ve been in your shoes. Familycare™ means being surrounded by people who genuinely understand what your family needs to thrive—and who are ready to help your family thrive, every step of the way.
